Pull SPDX update from Greg KH:
 "Here is a series of patches that add SPDX tags to different kernel
  files, based on two different things:

   - SPDX entries are added to a bunch of files that we missed a year
     ago that do not have any license information at all.

     These were either missed because the tool saw the MODULE_LICENSE()
     tag, or some EXPORT_SYMBOL tags, and got confused and thought the
     file had a real license, or the files have been added since the
     last big sweep, or they were Makefile/Kconfig files, which we
     didn't touch last time.

   - Add GPL-2.0-only or GPL-2.0-or-later tags to files where our scan
     tools can determine the license text in the file itself. Where this
     happens, the license text is removed, in order to cut down on the
     700+ different ways we have in the kernel today, in a quest to get
     rid of all of these.

  These patches have been out for review on the linux-spdx@vger mailing
  list, and while they were created by automatic tools, they were
  hand-verified by a bunch of different people, all whom names are on
  the patches are reviewers.

  The reason for these "large" patches is if we were to continue to
  progress at the current rate of change in the kernel, adding license
  tags to individual files in different subsystems, we would be finished
  in about 10 years at the earliest.

  There will be more series of these types of patches coming over the
  next few weeks as the tools and reviewers crunch through the more
  "odd" variants of how to say "GPLv2" that developers have come up with
  over the years, combined with other fun oddities (GPL + a BSD
  disclaimer?) that are being unearthed, with the goal for the whole
  kernel to be cleaned up.

  These diffstats are not small, 3840 files are touched, over 10k lines
  removed in just 24 patches"

Currently, procfs socket stats format sk_drops as a signed int (%d). For large
values this will cause a negative number to be printed.

We know the drop count can never be a negative so change the format specifier to
%u.

<title>netlink: make validation more configurable for future strictness</title>
<updated>2019-04-27T21:07:21+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=8cb081746c031fb164089322e2336a0bf5b3070c'/>
<id>8cb081746c031fb164089322e2336a0bf5b3070c</id>
<content type='text'>
We currently have two levels of strict validation:

 1) liberal (default)
     - undefined (type &gt;= max) &amp; NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted
     - attribute length &gt;= expected accepted
     - garbage at end of message accepted
 2) strict (opt-in)
     - NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted
     - attribute length &gt;= expected accepted

Split out parsing strictness into four different options:
 * TRAILING     - check that there's no trailing data after parsing
                  attributes (in message or nested)
 * MAXTYPE      - reject attrs &gt; max known type
 * UNSPEC       - reject attributes with NLA_UNSPEC policy entries
 * STRICT_ATTRS - strictly validate attribute size

The default for future things should be *everything*.
The current *_strict() is a combination of TRAILING and MAXTYPE,
and is renamed to _deprecated_strict().
The current regular parsing has none of this, and is renamed to
*_parse_deprecated().

Additionally it allows us to selectively set one of the new flags
even on old policies. Notably, the UNSPEC flag could be useful in
this case, since it can be arranged (by filling in the policy) to
not be an incompatible userspace ABI change, but would then going
forward prevent forgetting attribute entries. Similar can apply
to the POLICY flag.

We end up with the following renames:
 * nla_parse           -&gt; nla_parse_deprecated
 * nla_parse_strict    -&gt; nla_parse_deprecated_strict
 * nlmsg_parse         -&gt; nlmsg_parse_deprecated
 * nlmsg_parse_strict  -&gt; nlmsg_parse_deprecated_strict
 * nla_parse_nested    -&gt; nla_parse_nested_deprecated
 * nla_validate_nested -&gt; nla_validate_nested_deprecated

Using spatch, of course:

For this patch, don't actually add the strict, non-renamed versions
yet so that it breaks compile if I get it wrong.

Also, while at it, make nla_validate and nla_parse go down to a
common __nla_validate_parse() function to avoid code duplication.

Ultimately, this allows us to have very strict validation for every
new caller of nla_parse()/nlmsg_parse() etc as re-introduced in the
next patch, while existing things will continue to work as is.

In effect then, this adds fully strict validation for any new command.

clang warns about overflowing the data[] member in the struct pnpipehdr:

net/phonet/pep.c:295:8: warning: array index 4 is past the end of the array (which contains 1 element) [-Warray-bounds]
                        if (hdr-&gt;data[4] == PEP_IND_READY)
                            ^         ~
include/net/phonet/pep.h:66:3: note: array 'data' declared here
                u8              data[1];

Using a flexible array member at the end of the struct avoids the
warning, but since we cannot have a flexible array member inside
of the union, each index now has to be moved back by one, which
makes it a little uglier.

<title>Revert changes to convert to -&gt;poll_mask() and aio IOCB_CMD_POLL</title>

The poll() changes were not well thought out, and completely
unexplained.  They also caused a huge performance regression, because
"-&gt;poll()" was no longer a trivial file operation that just called down
to the underlying file operations, but instead did at least two indirect
calls.

Indirect calls are sadly slow now with the Spectre mitigation, but the
performance problem could at least be largely mitigated by changing the
"-&gt;get_poll_head()" operation to just have a per-file-descriptor pointer
to the poll head instead.  That gets rid of one of the new indirections.

But that doesn't fix the new complexity that is completely unwarranted
for the regular case.  The (undocumented) reason for the poll() changes
was some alleged AIO poll race fixing, but we don't make the common case
slower and more complex for some uncommon special case, so this all
really needs way more explanations and most likely a fundamental
redesign.

[ This revert is a revert of about 30 different commits, not reverted
  individually because that would just be unnecessarily messy  - Linus ]

Pull aio updates from Al Viro:
 "Majority of AIO stuff this cycle. aio-fsync and aio-poll, mostly.

  The only thing I'm holding back for a day or so is Adam's aio ioprio -
  his last-minute fixup is trivial (missing stub in !CONFIG_BLOCK case),
  but let it sit in -next for decency sake..."

* 'work.aio-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (46 commits)
  aio: sanitize the limit checking in io_submit(2)
  aio: fold do_io_submit() into callers
  aio: shift copyin of iocb into io_submit_one()
  aio_read_events_ring(): make a bit more readable
  aio: all callers of aio_{read,write,fsync,poll} treat 0 and -EIOCBQUEUED the same way
  aio: take list removal to (some) callers of aio_complete()
  aio: add missing break for the IOCB_CMD_FDSYNC case
  random: convert to -&gt;poll_mask
  timerfd: convert to -&gt;poll_mask
  eventfd: switch to -&gt;poll_mask
